SUMMARY:Patrícia Martins Marcos\, UC Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow Rising to the Challenge "The Empire of White Patriarchs: Population\, Race-Making\, and the Sciences of Human Improvement in the Afro-Luso-Brazilian Atlantic (1730-1800)"
DESCRIPTION:In 1750\, when the Brazilian border expanded by several orders of magnitude\, Portuguese Crown officials\, administrators\, and men of science received the news with hope and apprehension. While the growth of frontiers of Portugal’s possession in the Americas was celebrated\, it also presented formidable challenges for settlement. How could a diminutive metropole whose empire stretched across the four corners of the globe\, secure its new territorial gains? Drawing on Newtonian physics\, novel anthropological thinking about the human as a species\, and the accounting technology of “Political Arithmetic\,” Portuguese imperial administrators launched a policy known as the “political mechanism.” Recognizing how “population is everything\,” this talk historicizes the emergence of racial whitening (branqueamento) as a project of human improvement and “population multiplication.” Arguing that producing bigger and better population futures became the chief scientific project of eighteenth-century Portuguese imperialism\, I demonstrate how reform was undergirded by the forging of a new ideal of subjecthood: the salaried laborer. The salaried laborer became\, I argue\, the embodiment of a new ideal of whiteness (or white subjecthood). The end-goal of a new imperial science of human improvement was premised on the remolding of “rustics” into workers. In the Amazon\, the key site where I will focus on in this talk\, a new Crown policy promised to assimilate Amerindians and Roma people into whiteness through productive and reproducible labor. This talk excavates the racialized and gendered conditions of possibility for whitening through pronatalism\, human speciation\, and patriarchal rule. \nPatrícia Martins Marcos (Ph.D History and Science Studies) is a UC Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow Rising to the Challenge at UCLA’s History Department of History and the Bunche Center for African American Studies. Her book manuscript\, Imperial Whiteness\, historicizes genealogies of racial improvement through whitening in the 18th Century Afro-Luso-Brazilian Atlantic by linking histories of the life sciences\, to medicine\, gender and sexuality\, and race. She is currently Associate Editor with the History of Anthropology Review and elected Early Career Representative for the History of Science Society—where she is also co-chair of the Early Sciences Forum. Her work has been supported by the Huntington Library\, the American Philosophical Society\, the Center for Black\, Brown\, and Queer Studies\, and the John Carter Brown Library. She is currently a fellow with the Folger Shakespeare Library and next Fall she will be a visiting fellow at the Department of History of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG–Brazil) . Her most recent “Blackness out of Place\,” was published with the Radical History Review and focuses on the epistemology of Black visual resistance in Portugal and its former imperial spaces. \nZoom Registration Here

SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: E. Bennett Jones (The Huntington Library)
DESCRIPTION:The Indians Say: Storytelling\, Settler Colonialism and American Natural History\, 1722 to 1846 \nThis talk discusses the use of information attributed to Indigenous sources within eighteenth and nineteenth century Anglophone natural history. Early modern naturalists studying North American flora and fauna frequently sought out the expertise of Indigenous people\, who they simultaneously regarded as authoritative knowers and objects of study. But diplomatic alliances\, specific cultural protocols\, and regional dynamics all encouraged (or prevented) information sharing between settler naturalists and Indigenous people and these contexts in turn shaped how Anglophone naturalists presented and cited Indigenous expertise in published natural history. The talk explores the relationship between evidence\, identity\, and colonialism and examines how ideas about extraction and information underpinned the epistemology of early modern natural history. It also gestures towards present-day manifestations of these issues within scientific approaches to TEK (traditional ecological knowledge). \n  \nRSVP for Zoom: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEodO6vqzMuHdyICRUzt3ost8nF5jHEO8TX \nRSVP for in-person: https://forms.gle/4YpigVHmijybhVYv9

SUMMARY:Bharat Venkat\, “At the Limits of Cure.”
DESCRIPTION:Spring 2021 Colloquium \nMay 17 | 4PM – 5PM PST \nSpeaker Bharat Venkat (UCLA) \n“At the Limits of Cure” \nWhat does it mean to be cured\, and what does it mean for a cure to come undone? This talk draws from my forthcoming book At the Limits of Cure (Duke University Press\, fall 2021)\, which focuses on the history and present of tuberculosis treatment in India. Drawing on ethnographic and historical materials\, as well as film\, fiction\, and folklore\, I examine cure in its various iterations—from sanatoriums and gold therapy to travel and antibiotics—as well as how such cures come up against their limits. Through an anthropological history\, this book explores a range of curative imaginations that have taken form around tuberculosis: in debates contrasting idyllic sanatoriums and crowded prisons\, through which freedom in its many forms became envisioned as a kind of therapy; in the itineraries of ships filled with coolies and soldiers seeking work and treatment across the British empire; in the networks of scientists who tested antibiotics in India as a means of asking whether poverty really mattered to therapeutic success; in clinics where patients were told that they were cured only to undergo treatment again and again; and in the reworking of midcentury anxieties about population growth in relation to contemporary drug resistance in India’s urban centers. A central contention of this book–and my talk–is that our imagination of cure shapes our understanding of time: not only the temporality underlying histories of science and medicine\, but also\, the temporality of therapy itself. \n  \nRegistration Link

DESCRIPTION:Spring 2021 Colloquium \nApril 19 | 4PM – 5PM PST \nGideon Manning (Cedars-Sinai) \n“False Images Do Not Lie: Medicine\, Editors’ Decisions\, and the Case of René Descartes’s Treatise on Man” \nHow to discuss the role of illustrations in the early modern period in a way that is responsive to the concepts and vocabulary of the time remains elusive. In this talk\, which builds from the medical tradition outward\, I will suggest that the technical language of historia-actio-usus (history-action-use)\, which originates in Aristotle and Galen and is then standardized among anatomists in the sixteenth and seventeenth century\, provides us what has been missing. I will specifically consider the case of René Descartes’s posthumously published Treatise on Man\, which appeared in Latin translation in 1662 and then in French in 1664. The original manuscript of the Treatise contained perhaps one or two images\, but the text called for many more. Accordingly\, the editors had to make numerous decisions. I will demonstrate how the language of historia-actio-usus\, which Descartes also used\, allows us to better understand the editors’ decisions and the many differences between the illustrations in the 1662 and 1664 editions of same text. \n Zoom RSVP Link

SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: Taylor Moore (UCSB): “Tracing the Magical Rhinoceros Horn in Egypt: A Decolonial Materialist History”
DESCRIPTION:Fall 2020 Colloquium Schedule \nWe will meet on zoom from 4-5 pm. RSVP links will be circulated with the announcements for the individual talks. \nNov 23 \nRegistration: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYsdeGurzIqGtxldiJYGsO0ROwIFjd72WeD  \nTaylor Moore (UCSB): “Tracing the Magical Rhinoceros Horn in Egypt: A Decolonial Materialist History” \nCo-sponsored by the European History Colloquium \nCan emancipatory\, decolonial histories be extracted from objects collected from—or made visible to history by—the archives of colonialism?  This talk explores this question through the case study of the rhinoceros horn amulet (/qarn el-khartit/)\, an ethnographic object collected by British anthropologist Winifred Blackman during her fieldwork in Egypt in the 1920s. Markedly decentering the traditional colonial history of how the rhinoceros horn was collected and displayed as an object in European museums\,  I follow the trail of the rhinoceros horn back to the site of its collection in Egypt to reveal a strikingly different story: one of magic/medicine\, gender\, race\, and enslavement—setagainst the backdrop of Egypt’s imperial pursuits in East Africa. As such\, I demonstrate how to “read” the rhinoceros horn as an object-archive that illuminates the networks\, actors\, and economies whose bodies and labor are generally rendered invisible in Eurocentric histories of global science and medicine. \nTaylor M. Moore is a University of California Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow in the History Department at UC Santa Barbara. Her research lies at the intersections of critical race studies\,decolonial/postcolonial histories of science\, and decolonial materiality studies. Her book manuscript\, /Superstitious Women: Race\, Magic\, and Medicine in Egypt/\, uses modern Egyptian amulets as an archive to reconstruct the magical and vernacular medical life-worlds of peasant women healers\, and their critical role developing medico-anthropological expertise in Egypt from 1880-1950.

SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: Theodore Porter (UCLA) "Democracy Counts: On Sacred and Debased Numbers”
DESCRIPTION:Nov. 2\, 2020\, 4:00pm\, PST \nTheodore Porter (UCLA)\, “Democracy Counts: Sacred and Debased numbers” \nCommentary by Amir Alexander (UCLA) \n\nThe Trump Administration’s systematic rejection of accurate numbers in such domains as public health and the census is of a piece with Trump’s denial of the possibility of fair elections. Taken seriously\, it comes down to a rejection of democratic government. This colloquium is oriented around Porter’s blog\, “Democracy Counts\,” which has been made available with this announcement\, and which you are encouraged to read. Amir Alexander will provide a commentary\, to be followed by a wide-ranging discussion on numbers and politics. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy \nPlease register here to receive the zoom link. \nhttps://press.princeton.edu/ideas/democracy-counts-on-sacred-and-debased-numbers \n\nProtesters shout outside the Miami-Dade County election office Nov. 22\, 2000. (Colin Braley/Reuters)
